Halfway through the first song I'm already yawning. This is pretty boring and innocuous pop rock from the '70s. Apart from the fact that it was a hit in the US in the late '70s, I really don't see what's so good in this album that I should listen to it before I die.

I’ve been curious about this album for a while, as it gets a regular name check on the Ken and Robin podcast as an essential feature of an RPG night. Turns out it’s a live rock album that ticks all of the tropes including a ‘Hello San Francisco!’ to a crowd of politely whooping American college students. The high point is a cheesy voice box guitar effect. The low point is a cover of Jumping Jack Flash that bears no discernible relation to the original tune.
